I was a reluctant entrant to JBIMS, wanting to do my PhD in effects of medicine in space at University of Houston, I looked upon Bajaj as a stop gap arrangement until I could fly to the US. Little was I to know then that I would make a career out of the MMS degree that I gained here. Ever thankful to my professors who instilled in me a sense of discipline and pride for being a part of this great tradition that was Bajaj. Still remember the signature song “Yeh Jamin Yeh Aasaman……..Hamara Bajaj”.
Not only did JBIMS help me make a great career in the pharmaceutical industry, but also made lifelong friends. A backbencher, I am still great friends with Shailesh Jadhav, who steered me through the course and exams (read helped in many ways). Both of us being socially awkward (when it came to interaction with the girls and guys in our class) kinda helped us understand each other.
Post MMS joined the pharma industry in India. Started my career with Schering Plough (now merged with Merck Sharp Dohme) in the field and then in brand management. Am proud that I was one of the first brand managers to launch, life-saving recombinant biotechnology drugs in India. Was driven by a passion to “save Lives” “ Make a meaningful difference in the lives of patients” and that has guided my philosophy in my career. Have worked in Oncology, Dialysis and Transplantation, Gastroenterology, Ophthalmology, Women’s Health, medical devices and Animal Health.
Moved to Basel in Switzerland (my adopted home) and then missed India and my parents so much, that moved back here in 2012 to spend time with them in their golden years. Am currently working with Zoetis India Limited the No. 1 animalhealth company in the world.
